Drunk people are funny

So here I am again writing a 1 o'clock post. Two days in a row. I've heard over 10 times in the last few weeks that the night before Thanksgiving was the biggest party night of the year. I don't remember ever really partying hard on this famous night, but I guess I see why. No work in the morning, no family plans before noon or so, no need to be responsible. I could go on, but I think you get the point. I'm currently with a group of people who are, well let's see, how do I put this in the best politically correct way I can? Well, they're having a good time. There are some clothes switching, some falling over, some cigarette smoking, and a whole heck of a lot of drinking. I have chosen in my life to refrain from getting drunk (not to say I haven't been there a couple times in my life) because I'd rather keep my faculties about me. Know what I mean?But I do have to say, all ethics and morals aside, drunk people are funny. They fall down, they throw up, they makes fools of themselves, they get embarrassingly honest, need I go on? I know my parents are cringing right now, and some others of you find no pleasure in these types of things at all; but I find it to be really funny a few times a year. And that's why I'm posting at 1 am again.

This post made me crack up 'cause I know all too well the life of drunk people and being sloppily drunk myself. That's a thing of the past for me and I know God smiles at that... but I don't regret a minute of it.

Nowadays I might enjoy two or three pints a month, and not for the alcohol but for the sheer taste of it, to enjoy a well-crafted stout that someone put time and effort into... a small pleasure to partake in in this life.

And I never thought about the night before Thanksgiving being a big party night... but reflecting on that now, yeah, it was for me... maybe not always for huge parties but at least a night to gather and enjoy (drink!)
